Arivero Yurhik

[Arivero Yurhik]

Hahaha, I'm here, sister.

So it was you.

The hottest fellow in Clana Nemieri, right? I hate to admit that you're hotter than me. Being hot has always been my part here.

[Strange man]

Oh~! Now I have to introduce myself.

I am Arivero Yurhik.

We have met today for the first time, but I guess we will be friends from now on. So you can just call me Vero.

Only my close friends call me Vero. Hahaha. So you are honored.

And the lady here who is passionately interested in you is my elder sister, Arinoa Yurhik. You can see it from the name. We are siblings!

[

Interested in me?

It's strange. The lady has been looking at the documents, without showing any interest in me.

The man who has been speaking loudly became serious all of a sudden. He started talking to himself.

You are showing such a great interest in him..? Sister, perhaps you are trying to give the mission to this fellow?

Since I was looking at her continuously, I knew that the lady did not speak or act. But the man named Vero seemed to understand what she was thinking and continued speaking.

Yeah.. Really? Hahaha. I knew we'd become friends.

Hey friend. We have a task to work on together.

It's not a hard job. All we need is to go to about four places and destroy several things.

You'll do it. Right?

When I saw you for the first time, I knew you were faithful. Oh! Right.

What is your name?

Hmm, what an arrogant name. But it's the name that deserves to be hot. Now I have to acknowledge you..

I have several things to prepare. I believe you also need some time to get ready before departing, don't you?

I will be fully ready after 4:00 am tomorrow. Once you are ready after that time, tell my elder sister. Then I will get here quickly.

You are not only faithful, but diligent as well!

Great! The preparation is finished and you have arrived here. So let me give you a briefing on what we are going to do.

Teleporting is not available in the Schwaltzvalt area. I'm sure you know that.

Good. Actually, you don't need to know that.

I like your honesty. You don't actually need to know that.

It's not that important.

According to the government of Schwaltzvalt, the use of teleport in the village is prohibited to prevent the overuse of magic. But it's just nonsense.

There was an incident called 'Magic overuse'. Due to this incident, they passed the law to prohibit teleporting. In my opinion, 'Magic overuse' was manipulated by the government of Schwaltzvalt.

We think the Schwaltzvalt government installed the equipment to limit teleporting to protect the secret research of the Rekenber enterprise.

Looking at the series of incidents that happened after the equipment was installed, our conviction has become stronger.

Series of incidents?

Haven't you heard of the mysterious disappearance in the slum?

Since it's an incident that has already happened and it is not important now, I will skip the explanation. If you are curious about it, you can search it later on.

In any case, we will destroy all the 'Teleport prohibition equipment' installed in Schwaltzvalt.

Do you know its location?

Wow~ That's so sharp..

What a sharp question.

You deserve to be a hot person.

That's the problem we face now. This equipment is being hidden and protected by various technologies, including magic.

Hahahaha. But you don't have to worry.

At least, I know the location of one part of the equipment.

Do you know 'Einbech, the mining village'?

Hahaha. Of course you do, this area, Clana Nemieri, is also in Einbech.

Anyway, our agent in Einbech reported that a suspicious device showed up at the end of a freight train and disappeared quickly. The problem is..

There is no way to reveal the hidden and protected device for us to destroy..

In this case, we can revise the incident step by step from the beginning, right?

Maybe we can find something we missed.

Do you agree?

It's been a long time since I used my head for the last time. Let's take a break to clear our minds.

Great! It's high time to use my head, after a long while.

I will tell you the situation step by step from the moment when the agent found an unusual device. Once you find anything abnormal, tell me.

One day, our agent H in Einbech came out of the guardroom for the usual night patrol with a torch and club in each hand. H was wearing guard clothes.

H finished the patrol following the usual order. Finally, H went to the end of the freight train where he found an abnormal device.

Normally, there is a strong wind every now and then. But, on that day, the wind was strong enough to turn off the light. Then..

H said that a suspicious device appeared for a moment and disappeared quickly.

That's it..

The only information we have is the statement by the agent.. After listening to this story, did you find anything unusual?

He was wearing neat guard clothes cleaned and ironed by his daughter. But it's not unusual to wear neat guard clothes

H says he carries a club every time he patrols, to prepare for some unexpected situations. This is not unusual either.

H patrols through the same course every day. He says it's written in the guard manual. I find nothing strange about it. Do you?

It was a train that carried coal from the mine. Since it was night, the train stopped. Well, they say the train is not operated a lot these days due to a great deal of monsters in the mine.

Since it is a mountainous area, there is occasionally a strong wind, even in normal times.. It happens every day, so I don't find it strange.

A strong wind.. The turned-off torch..

Oh?! I think I have found it.

Hahahahaha. You are a genius. Thanks to your support, the puzzle is solved. Now we have a reliable theory and let's test it.

What kind of theory is it?

Hmm? You haven't noticed yet? I thought you noticed it already and then gave me a hint.

The Turned-off torch.. Fire!! Yes, it's the fire. Since Einbech is a mountainous area, there is occasionally a strong wind there, even in normal times. What was different from usual was that the torch was turned off.

Normally they say the fire is the strongest right before being turned off. So my theory focused on the fact that the device appeared for a while and disappeared quickly right before the torch was gone.

The very moment when the fire is strong and disappears!! That is the condition for the device to appear.

What do you think about my theory? Isn't it worth trying?

You seem so excited and I really don't get what you are saying. But if you are so positive about it, let's try. Trying won't hurt. Would it?

Since you are a hot person, your answer is also hot. Great! Let's go and try it. It's in this village anyway.

You come to the very end of the freight train with the items with full of fire attributes.

See you at the end of the freight train.

You were awesome. You deserve to be the hottest fellow in Clana Nemieri these days.

Hey look! My elder sister is so glad to hear that the equipment was destroyed.

His elder sister was just fishing around books and documents that she was looking at. But Arivero didn't seem to care about it and continued to speak in excitement.

Oh! I almost forgot.

Since we revealed the secret of teleport prohibition equipment, our agent in Lighthalzen was able to spot the location and attributes of the equipment.

Hmm..

The location is inside the mansion. The attribute is water. This information is too simple. Can we find it with this?

Water on four sides.. Water attribute..

What kind of relationship is there between its installed location and the attribute of teleport prohibition device?

It gives me a headache. Let me think about it later.

What do we need here? We need one Mystic Frozen to reveal the device.

Is Wind strong against Water? Hey pal. What is the attribute stone for wind attribute? Do you know?

Not Flame Heart. It's a fire attribute stone that revealed the device in Einbech.

And Mystic Frozen is a water attribute stone required to reveal the device in Lighthalzen.

Yes, it is! Rough Wind! This is the attribute stone of Wind attribute.

Great Nature? Isn't it for the Ground attribute? I don't think we need it right now.

Great! Bring me one Mystic Frozen and three Rough Winds.

See you in Lighthalzen.

It's strange. Why are you in such a hurry?

Is there anything urgent?

Oh, did I look like that? We already have the information and I was trying to destroy the equipment quickly before they become aware of it.

Ah! I see.

It is a great idea.

As I told you, I used to be the hottest person in Clana Nemieri before you showed up!

Oh!

Hey, let's get down to the business. Bring the materials and see you in Lighthalzen.

You were marvelous in Lighthalzen. No wonder you're such a hot person.

Look at her! My elder sister is even more pleased than before.

Upon any consideration, I think Vero is misunderstanding something. The poker-faced lady he calls his sister is still fishing around books and documents. And why is he saying that she is pleased? Why does he say that?

I wanted to ask you about this. Is she really pleased?

Look at her. She's not even looking here.

What?! Can't you see her being pleased? Look at her now. She is pretending to ignore us, because she is shy. But the glow around her cheeks shows that she is pleased. Got it?

Well, I don't get it. But I will just accept it, as her younger brother says so.

Hey! Friend!! There's something more important than it.

We have a problem. According to our schedule, we were planning to destroy the equipment in Yuno right after destroying the equipment in Lighthalzen..

Remember the device that prevented the prohibition equipment from disappearance?

You know that stuff? That is out of order now.

So we have to fix it before leaving.

You are dragging on.. You have something to ask me for, don't you?

Hahaha. You figured it out? We are lucky to have all the materials to repair it, except for one core material. As usual, core materials are always a problem.

So please bring one Star Crumb, the core material. Once you bring it to me, we can repair it and leave right away. I will be ready for it.

All we have to do is to insert the Star Crumb. So once you bring it, we can leave right away.

Regarding the location and required attribute stone, I will inform you then. I haven't finished collecting the information yet. I will count on you.

The basic repair is all over.

Now let me insert a Star Crumb, the core material..

The basic repairing is all over. But you haven't brought the Star Crumb yet. Please bring it soon.

Let's complete this operation quickly.

I will count on you.

The repairing is nearly over. Oh! You've brought it.

Now let me insert a Star Crumb on the device. It's the end of repairing!!

It's quite suspicious that Vero is not looking straight into my eyes. Maybe all he needed was the Star Crumb from the beginning. Shall I ask him about this?

Phew.. Let's just laugh it off. Fair is fair after all.

This is suspicious. Tell me honestly.

I won't be mad. All you needed was the Star Crumb from the beginning, right?

No! What kind of jerk do you take me for? Just look into my eyes!

It's very suspicious of him to be mad like it. But I decided to laugh it off.

Although there has been a minor incident, now we have two more prohibition equipment devices to destroy.

But since we found the location and attribute of the prohibition equipment installed in Yuno, we can leave right now.

The coordinates of Yuno's prohibition equipments are 206 224

It has a Wind attribute. Our agent will give us a Rough Wind, so we will be able to destroy it once we get there.

Please get four Great Natures and come to Yuno. They have opposite attributes to the Wind attribute.

See you in Yuno.
